We had lunch in Edison, NJ at a fine Korean restaurant called Tofu House. Their Fort Lee restaurant is  called “So Kong Dong.”  I think the “So Kong Dong” name is funnier.

Our friends ordered for us, because they had a clue. We had LA GalBi (Korean BBQ beef sliced ribs), Dolsot BiBiBob is crisp rice topped with beef, vegetables and egg (served in a sizzling stone pot,) steamed  pork and chive dumplings, HayMul Pajeon is a seafood pancake cut like a pizza, Jab Chae (stir fried clear noodles and veggies) and seafood tofu soup. The food was tasty and plentiful including free hors doerves.

Lunch. It was fun and delicious.

The staff was friendly and they spoke English, Chinese and Korean.  We chose English.  I looked for Kim Jung-un who has been missing lately. He was in the kitchen making our lunch.   I give them 4 Blogfingers.

A huge Asian market in the same mall had an amazing assortment of foods including live fish which you could select and then they would clean it for you if you wish.

This place is worth the trip (about 45 minutes).  1755 Rt. 27 south.  732 777 2110.
